On the rocks.
Arctic Guides offers beginner and advanced rock climbing courses for both privat persons and groups. Our rock climbing courses are held according to the Swedish Climbing Federation’s standars. The courses are led by our mountain guides (IFMGA) or climbing instructors (UIAA) .
Our rock climbing courses are held both in Swedish and English. On request, even in French.
You can easily combine a rock climbing course with an ascent to Kebnekaise or for example with our glacier course.
